The right case for the right client by Mobile Edge

Matthew Olivolo July 29th, 2011

Tracy Penton, a promotional products veteran working for Inner Workings, a leading global provider of managed print and promotional solutions, received a call from one of her larger clients Samsung. They were looking for a high-end bag that had a distinct look and stylish shape to it that would fit their new Galaxy Tablet. Her initial thought was a Mobile Edge case.

Tracy then called Mobile Edge account manager, Chris Busse, and explained to him what her client needed. Tracy needed approximately 225 tablet cases, so Chris went to work for her.

Chris offered four different laptop bags giving Tracy and her client a few choices to choose from, with each case mocked up virtually with their logo. Chris sent out a physical sample of the Mini Messenger which was their first choice from the selection.

As expected, Tracy’s client was very pleased with their choice after seeing the messenger in person, and ordered 250 of the Mobile Edge Mini Messengers. With plenty of lead time, the decorated Mini Messengers were delivered on time and looked fantastic.

“My client was extremely excited about this bag, and very pleased with the finished product,” Tracy explained. “The tablet fits in the case perfectly and provides plenty of protection as well.”

Chris is now working with Tracy on future orders with Samsung and some of her other large clients.

iPad 2 pocket added to Sumo Messengers by Mobile Edge

Matthew Olivolo July 27th, 2011

The iPad 2 has become increasingly popular since its launch with millions sold worldwide. We have found that customers who own an iPad also travel with their MacBook Pro or PC laptop. So, we designed our Sumo Messenger Bag with a convenient iPad pouch on the outside of the laptop compartment.

Now when traveling, you can safely take both your MacBook Pro and your iPad 2 on the road with peace of mind. The convenient pouch is perfectly position for easy access, and is lined with a soft MicroFiber material that will protect your prized tablet.

Having the freedom to take along your iPad and your laptop in the same case is convenient and a smart idea. If you just want to take your iPad, a Mobile Edge or Sumo Sleeve is the perfect solution. But if you need to take your laptop, other files, folders and paperwork on the road with you, then you need a larger case. The Sumo Messenger Bag has all of the pockets you need to organize yourself, plus show off your fun side.

Mobile Edge – Made for travel in a digital world

Matthew Olivolo July 18th, 2011

By Kate Trgovac, Fashionable Laptop Bag editor
As I’ve mentioned before, TSA regulations allow for laptops to remain in their sleeves if the bag meets TSA guidelines. If you’re looking for a laptop briefcase that get you through that (sometimes terrible) line-up at airport security a little faster, then it’s worth checking out the ScanFast Checkpoint Friendly Briefcase 2.0 by Mobile Edge.

Black and sleek, this bag is function, function, function all the way. The front of the bag has four zippered pockets. There are two pockets shaped and sized for cords and power-bricks, and there is a large flat, zippered pocket for reading materials. The fourth pocket is a smaller zippered pocket for quick access. I’m stashing my airline ticket and identification in there.

The briefcase opens clamshell-style. One side has a built-in slot for my laptop, and the other has storage for documents and accessories. The laptop pocket is made to fit laptops with up to 16″ screens. It easily fits my MacBook Pro, and it will definitely fit a PC as well. The elastic and Velcro strap firmly secured my laptop. The “Checkpoint Friendly” label on the pocket will remind TSA agents that bag is cool to go through the X-ray. It’s ALL COOL, TSA.

The front storage area of the bag holds all the usual “briefcase” contents that you may need. There is a handy series of multi-purpose pockets for my iPod and cell phone, pens, business cards, and a sturdy clip for my keys. And, as with Mobile Edge’s other security-friendly bags, there is a designated memory storage section, perfect for memory cards and thumb drives. For those of us who need to travel with data, thank goodness for that design feature – there’s a spot for my house keys AND my USB keys. There is also a zippered, netted pocket for other items.

Other nice features of this bag include the adjustable shoulder strap – it extends up to approx. 57″ hardware to hardware, which is longer than many other manufacturers. The shoulder pad is slim-lined, built-in, and extremely comfortable. The back of the bag has a pass-through so I can tote it along with my rolling luggage – always a nice feature.

Sumo Backpack by Mobile Edge in Laptop Magazine

Matthew Olivolo June 30th, 2011

This year’s trend in stylish laptop backpacks seems to be thin and light backpacks. The Sumo Travel Pack by Mobile Edge is in fact lean, light yet super durable and stylish all at the same time. In fact, in the July Edition of Laptop Magazine, Managing Editor Anna Attkisson reviews seven laptop backpacks and of course features the Sumo Backpack front and center. Read her review below.

Travel Light: Slim Laptop Backpacks

By Anna Attkisson, Managing Editor Laptop Magazine

For jaunting around town, commuting to and from work or school, and anytime you don’t need to take more than the essentials with you, a small backpack is the perfect traveling companion.

These slim day packs can go from subway to conference room or classroom with ease, and our top picks offer individual style along with lightweight functionality.

Though this case’s corduroy-lined laptop compartment can fit up to 17-inch notebooks, the Sumo Computer Travel Pack is still easy to tote. The durable and water-resistant ballistic nylon exterior is topped off with faux-leather accents underneath and subtle white quilting up top.

Inside you’ll find an easy-access front pocket with an organizer for wallet, pens, and your Smartphone. The ventilated back panel also conceals a handy roller board strap.

Alienware M14x gets 4 stars from CNET

Matthew Olivolo June 1st, 2011

The super popular Alienware M14x was given a four star rating from Technology Editor Dan Ackerman, from CNET. This hot laptop has been reviewed by editors across the globe and all have reported back with favorable reviews.

If you own a new Alienware laptop, you have to get an Alienware laptop bag to protect it. Mobile Edge manufactures the Alienware line of laptop cases and offers them online here. Whether you own the M11x, the M14x, the M17x or the new M18x, we have you covered. We offer portfolios, sleeves, messenger bags and backpacks all designed with the distinct Alienware head prominently displayed.

Here is a brief recap of the review from CNET regarding the M14x. To read the full review, click on the link at the end of this page.

By Dan Ackerman,
CNET Technology Editor

The Alienware M14x, Dell’s latest Alienware laptop, manages to pack amazing performance into a smaller-than-expected body with plenty of configuration options.

Typically, the difference between a 14-inch laptop and a 15-inch one is very slight, although we generally prefer the smaller of these two options for the sake of portability. When it comes to chunky gaming laptops, however, the difference can be more pronounced. While we wouldn’t consider taking Alienware’s 15-inch M15x laptop on the road, the new 14-inch version, unsurprisingly named the M14x, looks and feels a good deal smaller–even if it’s still a beast compared with other 14-inch laptops.

For truly portable gaming, you’d want to stick with the popular 11-inch M11x, pretty much the only gaming ultraportable you’ll find. But this new in-between size is enticing for those who want to take their games on a family vacation or business trip and still enjoy a reasonable screen size and generous 1,600×900-pixel screen resolution.

All this doesn’t come cheap, and our review unit of the M14x costs $2,198, which includes a high-end Intel Core i7 2820QM CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GT555M GPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 750GB hard drive. Fortunately, more realistic configurations start at $1,199.

It’s been a few years since Dell gave its Alienware lineup a makeover, and it’s starting to show. Like the recent M11x, the new M14x has the same angular, almost automotive design as the 15- and 17-inch models of a few years ago. When we first saw it we thought it was a good step toward a more upscale feel, but since then we’ve seen a lot of sharp laptop designs that go even further toward a modern, minimalist look.
